The COST of this training is $25. Though this training is valued at $50, cost is supplemented by the following sponsor: Kiersten's Ride.

safeTALK helps participants become alert to suicide. Suicide-alert people are better prepared to connect persons with thoughts of suicide with life-affirming help.

Over the course of their training, safeTALK participants will learn to:

• Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts may be present,

• Recognize that invitations for help are often overlooked,

• Move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide,

• Apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe, and

• Know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further suicide-safer help

This training is for anyone 15 years old or older. However, for attendees 15-17 years old, we will ensure a parent/guardian is aware of participation.
